Excellent Divorce Lawyer

Attorney Linda Vanden Heuvel did a wonderful job representing me in my divorce. She is extremely knowledgable and she looked out for my best interests throughout the process. Linda was very supportive and always available to answer my questions and keep me up to date on the case as it progressed. ...She knows the law and made sure that I was able to get a very fair settlement. Her book on divorce in Wisconsin is an excellent resource as well.

Excellent attorney for child custody case

Attorney Linda Vanden Heuvel was very knowledgeable and understood our needs in my family's custody case. She was well respected by the court staff and Judges. She was very professional and experienced during the trial and made the lawyer for the other side look unprepared. We received the best outco...me that we could have hoped for!

Past Client

If you are looking for an expert divorce Attorney I highly recommend Attorney Linda Vanden Heuvel! Linda’s family first approach fit my needs perfectly as I wanted my children to have the most positive recovery without becoming emotionally upset. As a business woman myself, I found Attorney Vanden He...uvel well organized, a skilled litigator, with a list of achievements a mile long. She is tough as nails in court and I always felt my concerns and best interests were first and foremost. Not only is she a tough Attorney, Linda is an accomplished author having written “Divorce in Wisconsin” an excellent divorce resource book. In addition to writing legal books she has also written several fun filled children’s books. Linda was always calm and composed and was able to make times of extreme crisis bearable. A Five Star Attorney in my book!

Impressive and Hard Working

Thank you and kudos on writing such a helpful book, Divorce in Wisconsin, The Legal Process, Your Rights and What to Expect. Thank you for being my attorney. Your early assessment during our introductory meeting was both helpful and impressive. Others need to make Vanden Heuvel & Dineen their first c...all!

Great lawyer

Divorce was the hardest thing to go through but I am so fortunate that I had Linda Vanden Heuvel as my attorney. Linda really supported me and kept me on track when emotions were running high. It was so difficult to focus on financial decisions when my whole life was crumbling and changing but Linda ...was there to help me remember that these financial decisions would impact not only my future but my children's future well being. Linda was also so helpful in navigating placement. It's all so overwhelming. All I wanted was to keep my kids safe and happy. Linda helped me sort out all the options and make a decision and agreement with my ex that would be the best for our kids. She helped me see that fighting about every little detail would never pay off and that we needed to look past the immediate stress and help our kids be happy and healthy. Linda was sometimes a little tough but only when I needed it. She also remembered how much stress the whole divorce put in me and on my kids. Linda was there for me in court. She knows what she is doing. She knows when to stand firm even when it seems easier to give in. I am so glad I had her in my side. She is experienced and really cares what happens to her clients and their kids. I would recommend Linda to anyone with a family law case.
